Season 2 Finale: How Yamaha invests in new customer experiences

This is it…the Season Finale! And, what a way to end Season 2 of (R)evolution….

In this episode, Yamaha shares what is by far the most expansive view of disruptive technology’s impact on business infrastructure and culture on the show to date. What you’ll see is a genuine discussion with Jeff Hawley and Rick Williams of Yamaha explore how an already successful business is exploring new opportunities to better define the customer experience before, during and after transactions. It comes down to workflow. Nowadays, it either works for you or works against you. Here, Yamaha shares that it needed “to blow up” its existing systems and processes and “start over” to compete more effectively for the future.

I think you’ll enjoy Yamaha’s approach to listen, learn, and engage with customers in their channels of preference. Please watch and share!
